Nipple secretions?

[shekels1222]

I started leaking colostrum around 34 ish weeks with DS. I've noticed some crusties occasionally already with this one. Pregnancy is so freaking lovely.

I have crusty nips and no noticeable leakage. I vote normal.

My husband pointed out the "dry skin" on my nipples, and I let him go with that.

PS - it's one of the least offensive things happening to my body right now....LOL.

ETA, I may or may not have tried to test out the leakage theory. (Inconclusive) OMG.

[soxin2]

Ditto previous.


But, yeah, dS2 quit nursing cold turkey in August. Got pregnant again in January. Had random leaks in the in-between. Have had noticeable colostrum since 12ish weeks. Now I have actual milk- 31w.

It's normal!

I even had leaking boobs tonight when a baby on the TV cried. I sat there laughing and remembering 'oh yes that happens every time a baby cries around me from now on'.

[Bonita]

I have this too, most things I read said it started in 3rd trimester and I'm only in the 2nd trimester...but I figure it's somewhat normal, haha

[anaps28]

I've had it since beginning of 2nd tri. I'm voting normal.

[ringstrue]

yeah I think its also coming from the pores around the nipple? Its in one of my books.

[imimahoney]

I'm 7 weeks and have been "leaking" since my bfp. Yay for 2nd pregnancies!

[GotWine]

I'm 18 weeks and have the crusties too. I had it around this time with DD too.

[sillygoosegirl]

Yep, me too. For the whole second trimester so far. Midwife says it's normal. At my BFing class they told me that I could practice hand expression during pregnancy and may be able to get a few drops out. (They suggested doing this because hand expression is apparently a useful skill and can speed up pumping and help you deal with clogged ducts... So many fun things in store, lol.)

[gretchenindisguise]

Totally normal.

Lol and I've been getting worried that I haven't seen anything yet! I hope there's still time ...

Still time. I didn't get it the first go around until late 3rd tri and haven't started yet.

I don't know that there is any correlation between early leakage and successful bf'ing. I was able to nurse for a year.

Get out!  A baby's cry induces this?  Crazy.

And I'm also in the boat of "this hasn't happened to me yet" and was a little concerned.  Guess I'll just keep waiting, it's early yet.

[litasail]

For those who this hasn't happened to yet, don't worry. I never had this while pregnant and have been successfully nursing my son for 16 months.

It can happen and does happen to me. Anytime a baby cries, and it does not have to be my own baby, my boobs would leak. It seems to have started this time already, last time it only started after my son had been born. The scary part is that my boobs had milk in them until DS was 3 years old, and I stopped nursing when he was 16 months old.

I just saw liquid for the first time! It is slightly sticky and has no taste. So weird.

Lol, I'm killing myself laughing at this! I wouldn't want to taste it.

[obladi]

I have this issue. It started a couple of weeks ago.
